"Up to a point a man's life is shaped by environment, heredity, and movements and changes in the world about him. Then there comes a time when it lies within his grasp to shape the clay of his life into the sort of thing he wishes to be. Only the weak blame parents, their race, their times, lack of good fortune, or the quirks of fate. Everyone has it within his power to say, 'This I am today, that I will be tomorrow' " - Louis L'Amour

Thirupachi - Tamil Film Review

Just watched the tamil movie Thirupachi, starring Vijay and Trisha. This movie is a very normal and average movie, made exclusively for the front-row-seaters. To make this even more attractive for the front-row-seaters, he's got all the villains (with names such as Pattasu Bala, Panparag Ravi, Saniyan Sagadai) who have acted in the recent times in the tamil film industry. As usual, like most of his movies, it was just a waste of time, although I enjoyed the song "Kannum Kannumthan" well sung by Harish Ragavendran and Uma Ramanan. I have heard this song many times (it's got a reggae piece in between which increases the coolness factor of the song) and the song sequence is also well choreographed, which adds to the viewing and hearing pleasure. Overall, the movie is something that is very much avoidable, but dont miss the songs, most of the songs are good, song sequences for some of them are good. Also Trisha's got a very small role in the film.

Verdict: Skip the movie and listen to the songs (also do a shift-delete on the movie in case you have a soft copy of it). Music by Devi Sri Prasad, Mani Sharma and Dhina is good.
